Engen Petroleum, the South African company which is 80% owned by Malaysia’s Petroleum Nasional Berhad (Petronas), has selected X-Oil to distribute its lubricants in Congo.

The Congolese fuel distributor X-Oil was bought by Geneva-based Lynx Energy in 2011. Lynx has plans to expand X-Oil’s operations into West Africa.

As a global energy company, Engen produces and markets fuels and oils for all industrial and automotive applications. It currently operates in 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Indian Ocean islands.
